2. Setting Up the Project
2.1 Backend Setup
File:
backend/src/server.js
const express = require('express'); const todoRoutes = require('./routes/todoRoutes'); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.use('/api/todos', todoRoutes); const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000; app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server running on port ${PORT}`));
File:
backend/src/routes/todoRoutes.js
const express = require('express'); const { getTodos, addTodo, deleteTodo } = require('../controllers/todoController'); const router = express.Router(); router.get('/', getTodos); router.post('/', addTodo); router.delete('/:id', deleteTodo); module.exports = router;
File:
backend/src/controllers/todoController.js
let todos = []; // Temporary in-memory store const getTodos = (req, res) => res.json(todos); const addTodo = (req, res) => { const { title } = req.body; const newTodo = { id: Date.now(), title }; todos.push(newTodo); res.status(201).json(newTodo); }; const deleteTodo = (req, res) => { todos = todos.filter(todo => todo.id !== parseInt(req.params.id)); res.status(200).send('Deleted successfully'); }; module.exports = { getTodos, addTodo, deleteTodo };
File:
backend/package.json
{ "name": "todo-backend", "version": "1.0.0", "scripts": { "start": "node src/server.js", "test": "jest" }, "dependencies": { "express": "^4.18.2" }, "devDependencies": { "jest": "^29.0.0" } }
2.2 Frontend Setup
- File:
frontend/src/App.js
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; import TodoList from './components/TodoList'; import AddTodo from './components/AddTodo'; function App() { const [todos, setTodos] = useState([]); useEffect(() => { fetch('/api/todos') .then(res => res.json()) .then(data => setTodos(data)); }, []); const addTodo = (title) => { fetch('/api/todos', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ title }), }) .then(res => res.json()) .then(newTodo => setTodos([...todos, newTodo])); }; return ( <div> <h1>Todo List</h1> <AddTodo addTodo={addTodo} /> <TodoList todos={todos} /> </div> ); } export default App;
3. Dockerize the Application
3.1 Backend Dockerfile
FROM node:16-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
CMD ["npm", "start"]
3.2 Frontend Dockerfile
FROM node:16-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY package.json .
RUN npm install
COPY . .
RUN npm run build
CMD ["npm", "start"]
3.3 Docker Compose
version: '3'
services:
backend:
build: ./backend
ports:
- "5000:5000"
frontend:
build: ./frontend
ports:
- "3000:3000"
4. Deploying to AWS
4.1 Build React for Deployment
cd frontend
npm run build
4.2 Upload Build to S3
- Create an S3 bucket named
gitsics.com
. - Enable static website hosting in the bucket settings.
- Upload the
frontend/build
folder contents to S3.
4.3 Set Up AWS CloudFront
- Create a CloudFront distribution pointing to the S3 bucket.
- Configure the domain
gitsics.com
in Route 53 to point to the CloudFront distribution.
5. CI/CD with GitHub Actions
File: .github/workflows/ci.yml
name: CI/CD Pipeline
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build-and-deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout Code
uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup Node.js

with:
node-version: 16
- name: Install Dependencies
run: |
cd frontend && npm install
cd ../backend && npm install
- name: Run Tests
